Hi All,

It was terrific to see so many of you at our Back-to-School Night on Thursday!  For those of you unable to attend, information about the year, including field trips, homework, volunteer opportunities, and content was shared. In addition, parents signed up for conferences. I have 9 time slots left, which means there are 8 of you that need to schedule conferences.  I will be contacting you directly, but feel free to contact me. The conference week is November 13-17, and they are scheduled at 20 min. intervals beginning at 12:45 and ending at 2:45. I can also make special arrangements for alternative days and times, and all of the Monday times are booked.

This week kids in Room 9 will begin the homework I explained on Thursday.  They are expected to read every day, and note it on the back of their form. In addition, there are a huge number of activities listed on the Choice Board. Please feel free to modify the list for your child/family if you feel it's appropriate.  I am sending home the math workbook "Home Connections", and kids may work on any pages up to 8.

Take care,

Carroll Mayer
